Simon Roth, creator of Maia, has announced his science fiction god sim will be joining the small of army of titles now available through Steam Early Access. It'll arrive in its catalogue this December 3rd.

Direct pre-orders for Maia means there's "no immediate need" for a cash injection, so he can take his time. Roth is expanding his team to handle the influx of testers.

Fifteen games have been greenlit for Steam, Valve has announced, and included among the games is Satellite Reign, a spiritual successor to the classic management RPG/strategy game Syndicate, a remake of the classic puzzle game The 7th Guest, and Nekro, a weird Dungeon Keeper-style game in which the player raises the dead for troops.
